As the excitement for WrestleMania 41 builds, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation and dream matchups. Among the myriad of wishes and what-ifs, Katana Chance, formerly known as Kacy Catanzaro, has thrown down the gauntlet, expressing her desire for a dream match against none other than Rhea Ripley. Ripley, a formidable presence in WWE, is currently gearing up for a high-stakes battle at WrestleMania, where she will compete for the Women’s World Championship.
In a recent episode of the Ring The Belle podcast, Chance didn’t hold back on her aspirations. “I think it would be probably Rhea. If I had to think of a WrestleMania dream match right now, and then I’m trying to think of a tag team match, if possible I would say me and Kayden versus The Hardy Boyz,” Chance remarked, highlighting her eagerness to step into the ring with wrestling icons.
Unfinished Business: The History Between Ripley and Chance
Katana Chance’s wrestling journey is intertwined with Rhea Ripley’s, dating back to their first encounter in the 2018 Mae Young Classic. Chance showcased her prowess by defeating Raquel Rodriguez but fell short against Ripley in the second round. Their subsequent matchups have seen Chance striving to overcome Ripley, albeit without success. This ongoing rivalry has only fueled Chance’s desire for a rematch, underscoring her determination to prove herself on wrestling’s grandest stage.
Despite her yet-to-be-realized WrestleMania debut and a recent setback in becoming the No. 1 contender for the Women’s Tag Team Titles, Chance remains focused and optimistic about her future in WWE. Her move to the main roster in 2023 marks a new chapter in her career, promising more opportunities and possibly, that coveted WrestleMania moment.
Praise for a Formidable Opponent
Reflecting on her past encounters with Ripley, Chance had nothing but praise for the former Judgment Day member. “Rhea is just incredible. I say any day of the week, I would wrestle Rhea. It doesn’t matter what character, doesn’t matter anything. She is incredible to be in the ring with. I don’t know anybody that she has bad chemistry with. I would trust her with my entire life in the ring,” she shared, highlighting the profound respect and trust she has in Ripley’s abilities.
A WrestleMania Match Made in Heaven?
The potential of a WrestleMania match between Katana Chance and Rhea Ripley is tantalizing for fans and wrestlers alike. Their storied history and undeniable chemistry could set the stage for a memorable showdown. As WrestleMania 41 approaches, the wrestling community will be watching closely, hoping for the announcement of this dream match.
With Rhea Ripley’s current focus on the Women’s World Championship, only time will tell if Chance’s WrestleMania dream will turn into reality. But one thing is certain: both wrestlers are destined to make waves at The Grandest Stage of Them All, whether as adversaries or allies.
